I realize most of us will end up with a quasi-"main" on each faction just to experience all the content, so I gave everyone two votes- one for each faction.

I'm sticking by what I've said from the beginning: Jedi Knight all the way. The one thing that might change my mind is if the Consular has a saber-focused "squishy DPSer" melee tree, like a rogue or a melee hunter in WoW. Melee DPS has always been my favorite role in MMOs, with tanking being a somewhat distant second.

My Sith main will probably be the Agent, just because the concept behind it sounds cool and I don't want to devote 100% of my time to saber classes right out of the gate.

Jedi Consular and Sith Warrior. I really want to try all the others out too, so I can't guarantee what my "main" will be, after I've driven them all. I really want to see what BioWare does with these two classes in TOR, so I'll be running them through first.

Squishy as in low armor. But you have the cc and heals to keep going in combat. Yeah JC for me all the way.

Makes me think:

BH/Trooper - heavy armor
JK/SW - medium armor
rogue/imperial agent - light armor
jc/si - light armor

That's actually the play style that would prevent me from having a Consular main. I specifically want to know if they can be specced as an all-out DPS class as I don't enjoy healing or CC.

My 1st will be Jedi Knight but close on his heels will be my Gunslinger... err Smuggler

I don't have much interest in the Empire, maybe a BH (but sadly probably not b/c no player bounties like in SWG )

I sometimes miss my Master Bounty Hunter/Carbineer (sp?)/ combat medic

Yes they have a dps tree and a "more healing tree". The funny thing is though, they still have a heal even if you go full dps tree and still have cc baseline abilities. The inquisitor also has the melee dps tree...but their other tree is more ranged damage focused and not so much healing/cc.

I am thinking they will be doing more damage then the JK but don't expect them to tank anytime soon.

The JC seems to be a hybrid class I have never quite seen done before....cc, healing, damage(ranged and melee), etc. all in one package where each one can be altered to fit your tastes. Just missing the tanking.

If this is the case, then Consular will be my main. I want to play the light side saber class with the most melee DPS, whatever that turns out being.

Then in that case it would be JK, I seriously doubt the consular would out preform the JK in melee.

Well, "outpreform in melee" is a complex concept. In WoW terms, does a Rogue outpreform a Warrior in melee? That's debatable. He does more damage, but he can't take as much. That's basically what I'm saying. If the highest melee DPS build for the Consular out-preforms the highest melee DPS build for the Knight strictly in damage over time with tanking ability not being a factor, I will play the Consular. If not, then a DPS-specced Knight it will be.

My first will be a smuggler. I have to make a Han Solo type character, then it's Jedi Knight.

Looks like it's too late to vote, but I expect I'll role a consular first, and then a bounty hunter.

Eventually, I hope to run the stories through on them all.

Just for saying "melee hunter in WoW" I hate you so very much. I played a hunter, as an alt, and painfully watched everybody else hitting it with their swords and axes, while I kept my distance and blew it up with a boomstick in less than half the time. (I don't really hate you, just the people that played that concept. It was not the intention of the class at all, the only reason it has melee abilities was to enable it to survive long enough to get out to range in PvP or an over pull.)

I was very upset when they released the Imperial Agent. I was afraid that our guild would be not be on the faction that had the class I really wanted to play. Then they released the Jedi Consular and I felt a lot better about playing Republic, because that's what my main will be. Another benefit to this class is that my girlfriend will definitely be playing Jedi Warrior, as she's definitely playing something akin to the WoW Rogue, and now we don't have to play the same thing.

if we have an Order 66 Empire sister-guild, Agent all the way there. The other three classes hold little interest for me.

Really? Of the eight classes, I can't name one that I don't plan on eventually playing at least to the end of the "unique story content" for that class. Then again, I'm an altaholic in MMOs with much less incentive to be one than TOR.
